A few days since well known ne
gro man, who was the fortunate pos
SCISSOR of fine lot ON one OF the lead
ing residence streets OF our city, sold
his property Tor $40, 900 cash. lle was
given a check for that amount, which
was carried in due time to one Of the
banks.
The paying teller asked the negro
how much Of the money he wanted in
cash.
II want all that ar paper calls fur, &c
replied the negro.
What You d n want $4,000 in
cash ~
Jesse, sab"
"All right answered the man who
shuilles the bank bills, and in five
minutes he began piling the money
on the counter. As he laid the $500
packages on the counter the negro's
eyes began to grow larger and larger,
and finally when twenty OF the pack
ages were pl, ce1 before him his eyes
looked as large as new moons. The
negro looked iutrntly at the pile OF
money FOR moment, and then, with
n broad grin on his face said
Use ist paralyzed, boss; gimme
$3.50 and you kin keep de rest OF thai
till | call agiu.

story comes from Brevard county,
Fla. Mr.. John Lennard says that
near him lives family named Bel
den. They had daughter, a girl 10
years old, who had formed an attach
ment for big rattleshake, which
would come and go at her bidding
aud nestle in her lap. The girl was
playing in some bushes near the
house, with the snake in her lap. A
negro seeing the child, aud thinking
she was unprotected, slipped upon
her, selling her in his arms, and was
bearing her off into the woods, with
his hand pressed over her mouth to
stifle her cries. The snake crawlod
from the folds of her dress, crept
around the brute's arm, and struck
him on the neck, Kissing in rage.
The negro dropped the girl, and dash
ed the snake against tree The girl
ran screaming toward her home.
The negro went only few yards be-
fore he was overcome by the poison,
and died shortly after ia great agony.

tRussellyllle Dispatch.

Republicans and Republican papers
are continually talking about Ken,
lucky being in rut, and the extrav'
agant expenditures necessary 10 car.
ry on the State government All
this does well enough for campaign
wind, but when we come to look the
cold facts square III the face, when
the electric light of public investiga-
ton is turned upon the question at
issue, it will be found that the repub-
licans themselves are responsible for
most OF the leakages in the state treas
ury. They have plunged their fin
gers deep into the public vaults year
after year; they have robbed the
state with bogus witness fees and i'd
lot claims, and then impudently
charge that the Democratic party has
ruined the State.
Ihirty-fye counties in Kentucky
voted for Blaine at the last presiden-
tial election, aud of that number thir.
ty are paupcr counties-that il, draw
more out the State treasury than
they pay into it. The thirty drew
out Of the State Treasury $l3S, l0l 81
and the five paid in $4S,9l9.77, there
fore the thirty-fve drew out $50, 1920
more than they paid in. These fig
ures are taken from the last auditors
report and are for The fiscal year
ending June Both, 1885.
The five revenue-paying republican
counties are Campbell, Christian,
Garrard, Crittenden and Boyd.
Campbell pays four times as much as
the others put together, and is now a
Democratic county, although 1t went
for Blaine, and hence is taken in the
Fayette county is not taken in this
calculation, because it is about evenly
balanced, as it has such large ne
gro population. The Democrats of
the county are its taxpayers, and the
same may be said of Christian coun-
Iy.
The republicans went out of power
IN 1867, twenty years ago, and if the
republican counties would now pay
INTO the treasury just as much as they
have drawn out Kentucky would
nave at least $l2,000,00O or $l3,OOO,0OO
IN the state treasury that she hasn't
got.
Republicans pay nothing TO Ken
ucky. The Republican counties are
on the bounty of the Dem
'cratic counties. Their taxes TO the
asst dollar, and on an average, $751;
100 to 100000 besides, are paid for
hem every year by the democratic
Republicans in Kentucky had bet
er be the means OF putting more mon
y into The treasury than they draw

hat Kentucky is in rut.
1t don't look well for man in the
TO cuss the county that Z

in which were reported in our last

favor of the plaintiff Monday, and
Judgment given for 5000 with in

filed, Nov. l6, 1885. A motion for a
new trial will be heard on the 22nd.
The case is certain to be appealed.
The suits of Mrs. j. Stauft against
the Home Insurance Co., and the

for $4,000 each, merchandise destroy
ed by fire, were decided Monday and
judgment given for 1880 in each
case. The amount recovered, $1,000,

resume business after the FIRE.
THE wINFREE-ANDERsoN CONTEST.
The contested election case was be-
gun Wednesday and is now being
heard. 1t will probably be finished
and decision reached by the end of
the week. The lower board decided
that Anderson was elected by 10 ma
ioriIy, but about 80 unknown or ms
LOCATED votes recorded in this city
were counted for Anderson, that
Winfree alleges are not residents of
the city, district or county. If these
votes are thrown out, Winfree will be
counted in by good majority, other
wise the result will be very close aud
doubtful.
